Several forms of designation can apply at sea as the 'land based' regimes apply as well as some specific marine forms of designation. Scheduling has been used to protect a variety of monuments in intertidal and fully marine contexts around the UK, including the remains of ships. Examples include elements of D-Day infrastructure that have been scheduled off the coast of Essex and Kent. There are also some listed buildings in the sea, though they protrude above the surface, such as the sea forts of the Humber Estuary and the Solent, and Beachy Head lighthouse. A much wider range of Listed Buildings are connected to the shore but have their foundations in the sea - especially harbour walls and piers.

Air crash sites are automatically protected by the Protection of Military Remains Act 1986. The the Protection of Military Remains Act 1986 also requires that a licence be obtained before excavating any place in search of military remains.
